Why is America Supporting Israel? | Ben Norton & Chris Jeffries

Ben Norton and Chris Jeffries discuss how geopolitical shifts, including the US becoming the largest oil producer and the rise of China as the world's largest oil importer, have weakened America's influence in the Middle East. OPEC's expansion to include Russia and US military interventions in Iraq and Syria have further eroded US alliances in the region. Israel remains the US's last key ally, serving as an "unsinkable aircraft carrier" for American military presence, as many traditional US allies like Saudi Arabia and Egypt are now looking towards the East and forming partnerships with countries like China.

Oh, it's about oil prices and who gets to print the world's money. Carry on then, maybe we can print some three dollar bills with Benjamin Netanyahu's mug on 'em!
